Good Burger 2, shot across Rhode Island, releases first trailer ahead of release date

PROVIDENCE – GOOD BURGER 2, an all-new original movie sequel to the iconic ‘90s feature film based on the sketch from the comedy series All That, released its first trailer late Monday.

The movie follows Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) and original cashier Ed (Kel Mitchell), as they reunite in the present day at fast-food restaurant Good Burger. Reed is down on his luck after another one of his inventions fails. Ed welcomes Dex back to Good Burger with open arms and gives him his old job back. With a new crew working at Good Burger, Dex devises a plan to get back on his feet but unfortunately puts the fate of Good Burger at risk once again.

The new cast members include:

Lil Rel Howery (Get Out, Vacation Friends) as Cecil McNevin, a lawyer for the corporation MegaCorp.

Jillian Bell (Murder Mystery 2, Brittany Runs a Marathon) as Katt Boswell, the CEO of MegaCorp.

Kamaia Fairburn (Blockbuster, Holly Hobbie) as Mia, a cool and confident teen who works at Good Burger to help her mother when she can.

Alex R. Hibbert (Moonlight, The Chi) as Ed2, a mini-me version of his dad, Ed, and Good Burger’s newest trainee.

Fabrizio Guido (Perry Mason, Mr. Iglesias) as Mr. Jensen, a 16-year-old employee who tries but often fails to keep his employees in line.

Elizabeth Hinkler (The Good Doctor, Tiny Beautiful Things) and Emily Hinkler (The Good Doctor, Boy Erased), as Cindy and Mindy, 16-year-old identical twins who are the cooks at the restaurant.

Anabel Graetz (Free Guy, The Mothership) as Ruth, the most senior employee at Good Burger among a bunch of teenagers.

The movie will also feature original Good Burger cast members reprising their roles: Josh Server, as Fizz, Lori Beth Denberg as Connie Muldoon and Carmen Electra as Roxanne.

The film was shot at several locations in May and June including 1883 Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence, a former Friendly’s, which was transformed into the Good Burger restaurant.

Thompson and Mitchell greeted fans on Mineral Spring Avenue during shooting, saying hello, signing autographs, and taking pictures.

Newport Police Officers were even surprised as Mayor Xay Khamsyvoravong and Thompson stopped in one day with some coffee and donuts. Thompson also stayed to talk to the officers.
